An Unexpected Amish Courtship

Title: An Unexpected Amish Courtship

Series: Surprised by Love #2

Author: Rachel J. Good

Publisher: Zebra Books

Genre: Amish, Christian Fiction, Romance

My review:

While this is the second book in the series it can easily be read as a stand-alone. There are a few characters who make appearances from the first book, but there is not so much background that you are lost. 

Love and a Little White Lie

 Title: Love and a Little White Lie

Series: State of Grace #1

Author: Tammy L. Gray

Publisher: Bethany House

Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Romance, Christian fiction

Source: Library Book

My review:

This is the first book that I have read by this author but it will not be my last. I am eagerly waiting to get my hands on the second book in the series, Love and the Silver Lining, expected to release on August 3rd. I will have to see if my library has it, if not I will request they purchase it.

Can't Wait Wednesday

 Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This is my fourth week participating in Can't Wait Wednesday and I am enjoying reading about all the books you all can't wait to read! This week I am showcasing another romance. I love books by Amy Clipston...she writes Amish fiction and Christian fiction. I am always in awe of anyone who can write a book, but even more so when authors can write across multiple genres and do it equally well.

TTT-Stranded on a desert island

 Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday! I hope you are off to a great start to your week. This week’s topic features books that I would want with me if I were stranded on a desert island. Since I do not typically read a book over and over again, I will pick some of the books that have been on my to-be-read list for quite a while. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what books others would want if they were stranded on an island.

My Bible-if I am going to be stranded anywhere I would need my Bible for the hope and encouragement it would give me!

Get Out of Your Head by Jennie Allen-I would also need help with my thought life.
